Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for "Legionella Prevention - Water Safety," led by Trent and Dove Housing with the assistance of GBS Procure Limited as the external procurement team, was initially released in the planning stage for services related to water safety management across their property portfolio. Despite its promising potential, the procurement stage transitioned through tendering and was cancelled on 30th October 2025 due to an insufficient number of compliant bids, highlighting a requirement shift from mandatory to preferred for certain accreditations to foster broader competition. The tender originally had a submission deadline on 29th October 2025 for expressions of interest and was set to award the contract by early 2026. The services aimed at locations within the United Kingdom under the main procurement category of services, valued at £675,000 total, operated under a selective procurement method with potential extensions up until 2031. The procurement's legal framework is based on the UK's 2023 legislative framework, employing a competitive flexible procedure.

With a focus on legionella and water hygiene management, this procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialised in health and safety consultancy, water pollution management, and related services. The potential contract would particularly benefit SMEs with specific accreditations like the Legionella Control Association membership and ISO 9001. The industry professionals best suited to compete would be those offering comprehensive water hygiene solutions, capable of ensuring compliance and integrating technology for effective record-keeping and reporting. Firms with innovative solutions addressing social value and environmental impact, along with the ability to respond to health and safety legal requirements, will find this tender conducive for expanding their business portfolio in the health and safety services sector.
